Resurrection Sunday

because the historical
Jesus rose in the spring
with the roses or rather
before them, with the lilacs?
But think of the nice girls
tying their bonnets and stepping
out for an armful of magnolia
or forsythia, or cuddling
a very new bunny; why
cut this tenderness out
like the lattice pattern
in a construction-paper basket?

WHAT WE DO

NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has gotten larger every year, and many writers’ organizations, local, national and even international, organize NaPoWriMo activities.
